The Bible Standard - Discover the Truth. (By Christadelphianvideo.org)

Our world likes to talk about peace. We cannot recall a time when there has not been talks about the need for peace in some situation, often many situations. At the end of world wars “peace” is declared! But is “peace” simply a cessation of hostilities? No it is not, well not from the divine perspective. We read in today’s 19th chapter of Luke how Jesus came down the mount of Olives (v.37) and “th...

Numbers 10 describes the purpose of the silver trumpet. It was blown as an alarm when it was time to break camp. The order for marching is told. A different sound was made to call the nation to an assembly. Sometimes the assembling of the tribes was to muster them for war. Also at the joyous festival in the seventh month the trumpet was sounded. The trumpet blast accompanied the offerings that sig...

Today’s 4th chapter of Solomon’s Proverbs alerts us to the responsibility of fathers. It starts, “Hear. O sons, a father’s instruction, and be attentive … “ It is clear that David, the father of Solomon had seen in him a responsive spirit and taught him the ways of God. This led David to name Solomon as his successor (see 1 Kings 1 v.13,17,28-30) despite the efforts of other and older sons to clai...

Luke 19 records the story of tiny Zacchaeus who had climbed a mulberry tree to catch sight of Jesus, who would pass by among the crowd. The Lord, who was always able to read people’s minds, stopped underneath the tree where the tax gatherer was. Jesus said to Zacchaeus, “Today I must dine at your house”. In a statement of true repentance Zacchaeus indicates how there would be a recompense to any p...

In Numbers we read that the establishment of Israel as an organised nation is now complete. It had been just over a year since they escaped from Egypt; the 10 commandments and other laws had been given, the tabernacle had been made and erected and is now ready for use. The priesthood. led by Aaron, had been appointed, Our chapter (6) today concludes in a very significant way. “The LORD spoke to Mo...

Matthew 28 tells that just after 6pm on the Sabbath Jesus was raised from the dead in a dramatic and terror induced experience for the guards who witnessed the angel’s powerful demonstration. This provided incontrovertible evidence of the event by impartial witnesses who were in the pay of our Lord’s enemies. The risen and glorious Lord Jesus Christ went to meet with them in Galilee, as he had arr...

Honesty seems to be an increasingly rare commodity in the 21st Century. Cheating the Govt at least a little is a common practice. The shop assistant is astonished, but pleased, when one hands back money when you have been given too much change after making a purchase! We read today a parable Jesus told about a manager who worked for a rich man and who was doing his job poorly and “wasting his poss...

Luke 17 commences with a woe upon any who would be a cause of serious stumbling to Jesus’ disciples. This follows Jesus’ comments in verses 1-6 on the need for forgiveness which brought the response from the twelve: “”Lord to increase their faith”. Yet that faith, like the mustard and mulberry seeds, may be tiny but immensely powerful. We are told that when we have done all, we are still unprofita...

Solomon’s proverbs begin with a very telling chapter on the need “to know wisdom and instruction, to understand words of insight, to receive instruction in …” [v.2,3] It is a most appropriate message for all those who are in awe of God, “let the wise hear and increase in learning, and the one who understands obtain guidance” [v.5] writes Solomon. Verse 7 states a vital principle, “ the fear (awe)...

Numbers 5 tells of regulations for dealing with diseased and ceremonially unclean people. It also tells of the rules for these “unclean” people to re-enter the Holy Camp, where the LORD dwelt. The chapter finishes with a test for when a jealous husband suspects his wife has committed adultery. The underlying reason for the offerings that accompanied the restoration of the “unclean” person and the...

Luke 15 records the three parables of the lost – sheep, coin and son. “All we like sheep have gone astray” (Isaiah 53) but hopefully we have been recovered by our chief Shepherd 1 Peter 5. However, how poor it was that the coin was lost in the house of believers. Was it lost because of an oversight, or, even worse, because of a lack of care due to the preoccupation of those self interested occupan...

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The unchanging and consistent teaching of Bible based Christianity is contrasted with the ‘shifting sands’ of Roman Catholic teaching and papal pronouncements. This is illustrated from the Bible and by numerous references to documented history. Authority is shown to belong to the Bible, not to church dogma.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description: The Bible was written over millennia by different authors as they were inspired by God.

In Luke 13 the enemies of the Lord maliciously attack him by drawing his attention to the Galileans, who Pilate had slaughtered as they were sacrificing in Jerusalem. Jesus tells his audience of Judeans of a recent event where a wall in Siloam – Jerusalem’s backyard – fell on many Judeans. Did it happen because they were bad sinners? No, on both counts – but both tragedies provided opportunities f...

Numbers chapter 2 describes the arrangement of the camp of Israel. Everything that their Sovereign gave to His people Israel was orderly and purposeful. Even in what might seem to be simple matters there were divine principles being taught to the Almighty’s family. Each tribe had its banner, or flag. Three tribes camped on each side of the central Sanctuary, where the Tabernacle was located. The t...

Very soon we will be reading the Proverbs of Solomon. We thought of this when we saw the reference Jesus made to Solomon in today’s chapter 11 of Luke’s gospel. He made reference to the accounts in the Old Testament of the wisdom from God that Solomon received and how, such as the queen of Sheba, “came from the ends of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon” [v.31]. But, said Jesus, “behold somet...

Jesus spoke in parables, stories that were not necessarily factual because their purpose was to drive home some principle about the spiritual meaning of life. In Luke 10 we encounter some one word parables and phrases that are so obviously not literal. He did many miracles in Capernaum and other cities. He challenges, “If the mighty works done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon they would have...

In Luke 11 we start with a record of, what is termed, the Lord’s Prayer. It is a model prayer, not a mantra to be repeated without thought. It commenced with an acknowledgement of the Father’s awe inspiring status. The follows petitions for the Almighty’s will to be on earth, as it is in heaven. The kingdom will come when Messiah returns in glory. Lastly are personal petitions for forgiveness and...

In Psalm 139 today, we read “Oh LORD you have searched me and known me!” This caused me to recall a conversation with a dear brother who has since passed. He was reminiscing about being a child in England during the 2nd World War. He commented,  “I remember searchlights as a boy. Beams of light would sweep across the sky from near where I lived. They were searching for enemy planes, if they found...

Luke 10 says that the Lord Jesus appoints seventy emissaries to spread the gospel message. These men were sent out two by two so as to support each other. Although they carry the message only within the confines of the land it was symbolic of the Gospel being taken to all the nations from Israel (compare Genesis 10 and Deuteronomy 32 verse 8). Once again these ambassadors were to take the minimum...

Leviticus 26 tells of the Almighty,S vengeance on those who disregard their obligations to His covenant. Verses 1-2 reinforce what had been said concerning idols; and the need to keep the LORD uppermost in the Israelites’ minds by revering and keeping His Sabbaths. In verses 3 to13 God’s response to their faithfulness included many promises and blessings. Blessings of fruitfulness and peace. Bless...
